BUSINESS / NEWS 14 email: news@printmonthly.co.uk Issue 345 - November / December 2023 PrintMonthly printmonthly PrintMonthlyMagazine Following the acquisition of Middleton Paper’s fine paper and conversion business this year, Denmaur has launched its Reel Fast express sheeting service. This is a service for customers in commercial print, publishing, and packaging sectors which delivers customised sheet sizes from Denmaur’s range of sustainably certified cutter reel stock within five days of receipt of order. Located centrally in the West Midlands, the Reel Fast plant delivers mill standard quality for all conversion jobs such as newsprint paper weights and high-caliper packaging boards across the UK. Described as building on Denmaur’s value-added service as well as its expanding sustainability programme, the new service is said to deliver credible cost savings and can also quantify the waste and carbon saved over an equivalent standard sheet size. This is something marketing and sustainability director Danny Doogan says customers are increasingly demanding.
